Billy Bloker is the reason I'm leaving this comment. He has gained my respect to leave this comment. To be so involved with the community is Golden and being a Veteran is Golden also! To have someone like Mr Bloker

Keep it up!!

A terrific event venue for events up to a couple hundred people. Large kitchen space available, nice hall to accommodate live music. Outdoor patio and a gazebo also available. Plenty of adjacent parking. Very reasonable rental fees and very nice people to deal with.

As a co-owner of Absolute Music, I am happy to give a 5 star review to the Janesville Events Center. They do a fantastic job. We love DJing events here!

Not a pleasant experience at all. But I guess you get what you pay for. I've heard others having similar experiences, but was hoping this wasn't true since it changed management. Unfortunately the management change didn't change the venue. Good thing the bride and groom are such easy going people and adapted to the challenges that came their way from this venue! It's a shame that the reception hall misinformed the bride and groom in so many ways. And continued to change their story several times regarding the issue. Unfortunately, they will not where I will be having my wedding. It's sad my sister

My wife and I wanted to have a party for our one year anniversary because we weren't able to have a reception when we got married. The place looked great online and was reasonably priced for the anniversary party we were looking at having. I told the lady on the phone we wanted to have an anniversary party, which online was a cheaper price then the wedding package and since we were already married seemed like the logical choice. When I first talked to her she even said the same thing when I told her we were already married. She gave me a price breakdown of extra costs to have the building open

I rented the community center for a bridal shower. The facility was clean, atmosphere was pleasant and we had plenty of space for activities.The use of the kitchen was more than accommodating. The center is under new management. Renee was very pleasant and a available for any questions. I suggest the center for any activity small or large.
